File Menu

The File Menu on the Text Editor
dialog box offers the following options:

Menu
Option

Description

New

Creates a new, blank
object. If an existing text or code object is already open for editing,
you will be prompted to save it first.

Open
File

Import an existing file.
Browse for a file to open using the Open dialog box. You may import
Rich Text (*.rtf), Plain Text, (*.txt), and HTML (*.html, *.htm) file
formats. The extension will determine the format of the imported file.
(Unrecognized extensions will be imported as Plain Text.)

Save
Object

Saves the object to
the project. This only saves the text to the project. It does not save
your project files to disk. (If you are typing large amounts of text you
may want to save the project periodically to avoid data loss if the power
fails )

You
must save the text or code object before you can exit the Text Editor
dialog box and return to the Work Window. The quickest way to do this
is to click the Save and Close button at the bottom of the dialog box.

Save
As File

Opens the Save As dialog
box, allowing you to export the contents of the Text Editor dialog box
in either Rich Text (*.rtf), Plain Text, (*.txt), and HTML (*.html, *.htm)
file formats.

Print

Opens the Print
dialog box, allowing you to print contents of the Text Editor to a selected
Windows® printer.

Open
Word Processor

Launches the word processing
application on your system (such as Microsoft® Word®) that is configured
to open the Rich Text (*.rtf) file type.

Save
and Close

Saves the current text
and attributes and closes the Text Editor dialog box, returning you to
the Work Window.
